Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity and has become an area growing focus in Business & Society. Looking back reviewing climate discussion within this journal highlights importance time space addressing crisis. forward, we extend existing research by theorizing politicizing co-implication through concept “space-time.” To illustrate this, employ logical structure “the trace” to advance business society scholarship on shifting a place-bound emphasis impacts directing toward change’s temporal markers material effects. By operationalizing trace,” contribute Society debates three ways: (a) reimagining complex stakeholder relations, (b) advancing performative understanding risk, (c) foregrounding planetary systems physical environment.

Pesticides are indispensable in agricultural production. They have been used by farmers to control weeds and insects, their remarkable increases products reported.

Without use pesticides, there would be 78% loss fruit production, 54% vegetable 32% cereal Therefore, pesticides play critical role reducing diseases increasing crop yields worldwide. Thus, it is essential discuss development process; historical perspective, types specific uses pesticides; pesticide behavior, its contamination, adverse effects natural environment. review study indicates that has long history many places around world. can divided into three periods time. classified different classification terms such as chemical classes, functional groups, modes action, toxicity. kill pests using ingredients; hence, they also toxic other organisms, including birds, fish, beneficial non-target plants, well air, water, soil, crops. Moreover, contamination moves away from target resulting environmental pollution. Such residues impact human health through contamination.

Insect pests substantially reduce yields of three staple grains-rice, maize, and wheat-but models assessing the agricultural impacts global warming rarely consider crop losses to insects. We use established relationships between temperature population growth metabolic rates insects estimate how where climate will augment rice, wheat Global yield these grains are projected increase by 10 25% per degree mean surface warming. Crop be most acute in areas increases both These conditions centered primarily temperate regions, grain is produced.

As a result of global increases in both temperature and specific humidity, heat stress is projected to intensify throughout the 21st century. Some regions most susceptible dangerous humidity combinations are also among densely populated. Consequently, there potential for widespread exposure wet bulb temperatures that approach some cases exceed postulated theoretical limits human tolerance by mid- late-century. We project 2080 relative frequency present-day extreme events could rise factor 100–250 (approximately double change alone) tropics parts mid-latitudes, areas which contain approximately half world's population. In addition, population recent deadly waves may increase five ten, with 150–750 million person-days above those seen today's severe 2070–2080.

Tropicalization is a term used to describe the transformation of temperate ecosystems by poleward-moving tropical organisms in response warming temperatures. In North America, decreases frequency and intensity extreme winter cold events are expected allow poleward range expansion many cold-sensitive organisms, sometimes at expense organisms. Although ecologists have long noted critical ecological role temperature extremes tropical-temperate transition zones, effects been understudied, influence temperatures has too often left out climate change vulnerability assessments. Here, we examine on northward limits diverse group including terrestrial plants, coastal wetland fishes, sea turtles, reptiles, amphibians, manatees, insects. For these can lead major physiological damage or landscape-scale mass mortality. Conversely, absence foster population growth, expansion, regime shifts. We discuss winters species zones. 21st century, change-induced facilitate species. Our review highlights knowledge gaps for advancing understanding implications tropicalization America.

Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils (e.g. tree stumps), macrofossils seeds, leaves), and microfossils pollen, spores) preserved in peat bogs lake sediments. Although have been studied since the late eighteenth century, today is largely dominated by pollen analysis.Quaternary analysis just over 100 years old. It started primarily as a geological tool for correlation, relative dating, climate reconstruction. In 1950 major advance occurred with publication Knut Fægri Johs Iversen of their Text-book Modern Pollen Analysis which provided foundations botanical ecological past dynamics biota biotic systems. The development radiocarbon dating 1950s freed from being dating. As result these developments, became valuable implement long-term ecology biogeography.Selected contributions that has made to biogeography are reviewed. They fall into four general parts: (1) aspects interglacial glacial stages such location nature glacial-stage refugia soil glaciated unglaciated areas; (2) responses environmental change (spreading, extinction, persistence, adaptation); (3) topics potential niches, vegetation, forest dynamics; (4) its application human impact tropical systems, conservation changing world, island palaeoecology, plant–animal interactions, biodiversity patterns time.The future briefly discussed 10 suggestions presented help strengthen it links biogeography. much contribute when used conjunction new approaches ancient-DNA, molecular biomarkers, multi-proxy palaeoecology.

Abstract Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have agreed hold “increase in global average temperature well below 2°C above preindustrial levels and pursue efforts limit increase 1.5°C.” Comparison of costs benefits for different warming limits requires an understanding how risks vary between limits. As changes risk are often associated with exposure due projected local or regional climate extremes, we analyze differences extreme daily temperatures precipitation amounts under We show that would result substantially larger probabilities events than 1.5°C. For example, over land area, probability a warm occurs once every 20 years current is 130% 340% at 1.5°C 2.0°C levels, respectively (median values). Moreover, relative rarer, more events, implying assessments need carefully consider event thresholds which vulnerabilities occur.
